I even considered shaving and adding poppers. NAW, that wouldnt be right. I would like to know if there is a detailed paper out there describing how to rebuild these. It has the kewl upswing handles and vent windows. So I dont want to change out to a 50 , etc.. I realize my truck is a "little different", but Im trying hard to keep as many lines original as I can.

Anyway, I almost have the second door blocked out enough to put a final coat of primer on before setting aside for storage. What specifically do you need? I hope to put together a step by step when the time comes, but may be able to help out with some pictures etc until then.  | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 73 Member | | Member Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 73 | Gosh, just a hand sketch or digi pics of the window track setup and the door latching would be sooooooooo helpful!

Tear one down and lube up everything that moves or is supposed to move and replace anything that is made of rubber. Make sure you have a tap and die set and some new screws to replace them darn clutch heads,

We have stripped out six and a half pair of doors so far in getting a perfect pair for the 47. Thats a lot of clutching man. its amazing how many parts are in just one door, and how a fairly "good" door looks like crap after you strip it.
Jim, I have several factory manuals and books showing differnt exploded views. I'll look and see if any of them have your style door in them. I'll post something this weekend if I find it. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 3,068 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 3,068 | "Clutch head is my friend" "Clutch head is my friend".

Would you like for me to try to get some pictures of my doors and parts? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 355 Member | | Member Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 355 | Ok it appears that its to big to send out the way I did it so I'll try and make it smaller and resend it. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 355 Member | | Member Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 355 | Bret, cant send it to you as your email contact dont allow an attachment.
